The Voice winner Kevin Simm is out to prove that the show can produce hitmakers after he was crowned champion at the weekend.

The former Liberty X singer is on track to have a big hit with the rousing winners’ single All You Good Friends.

The song has already reached the UK singles chart top 10. And if he can stay there by Friday he will join firefighter Stevie McCrorie to be become the second winner to have achieved a top 10 single.

Kevin, the fifth and final victor of the show before it moves from the BBC to a new home with ITV, said: “A lot of guys have worked on The Voice since it began on the BBC and that’s all they have have known.

“Now I really want this and I want to be successful for them as well as me.

“People have said over the years that nobody on The Voice has made it so I would love it if the song was a massive hit.

“It is amazing to see my name up there with Sia and Drake.

“I remember when I was younger and having dreams of being even at 150 in the charts. I thought would die a happy man if that happened.”

Kevin, 35, decided to have another shot at fame after notching up a string of hits with Liberty X who were formed from another reality singing show Popstars in 2001.

After his stunning audition performance of Chandelier by Sia he went on to beat Cody Frost, Lydia Lucy and fellow Team Ricky Wilson singer to be named The Voice winner.

He nailed three performances on Saturday night’s live show including a pitch-perfect rendition of Rhianna’s ballad Stay and All You Good Friends, which could be telling the story of Kevin’s return to the limelight with the lyrics “All you good friends afraid i’ll fall. Hope you’re listening I’ll show you all. So turn up, turn up your radios.”
